Update the component

The component will check for updates each time HA is restarted. When there is a new version, a Persistent Notification will appear.
Use the services smartir.check_updates to manually check for updates and smartir.update_component to start the automatic update.
If you would like to get update notifications from the rc branch, configure SmartIR as follows:

Sorry for the noob question i had the broadlink component working with my tv and my ac … i saw the update so far i have managed to get the custom updater to work … i already added the link… but i am a bit lost on how to proceed then … there is no info on the readme.

@Vassilis
In the previous addon there was an option to ping the media device to get the status of that device in case it was switched on with the remote control (no power sensor on old TV). Is there a way to achieve this with SmartIR?

I just switched over from the broadlink component and all is working well, thanks!

I had an issue with the old component where it doesn’t sync up with google home properly. This component has the same problem, google sees Auto mode as cool/heat mode and doesn’t let me set a temperature in this mode. If I set it to cool or heat mode only then I can set a temp, any ideas?

Thanks, glad to know its not just me
Yes I tried that and it doesn’t work. I think there is a deeper problem because when I set it to heat/cool via the Google home app it doesn’t let me set the temp. Alexa works well.
